Israel’s  Odysight (see previously) is working to reduce airplane accidents and make aviation generally safer. Its AI-based visual sensing technology monitors the conditions and critical safety components of hard-to-reach environments, such as planes, for the early detection of potential malfunctions.

10 Israeli startups were chosen (from 258 applicants) for the first cohort of the Ignite DeepTech, accelerator (see previously). They are DYM Sense, , SkyPulse Technologies, , Jazz, Huskeys, Impala.ai, DataFlint, Troup AI, and Particle Lab.

Israel’s Similarweb (see previously) has launched its App Intelligence solution, marking a significant advancement in unified digital analytics. It combines web and mobile app data, providing businesses with a holistic view of digital performance and user engagement.

Researchers from Israel’s Miguel and Volcani Institutes have advanced the flowering and ripening of the Royal Dawn cherry variety by about a month, to benefit Israeli cherry growers. They used temperature-controlled root containers to simulate and monitor different seasonal conditions.

Researchers at Israel’s Weizmann Institute have developed a dual-laser technique that manipulates electrons and then tracks the effect in attoseconds (one quintillionth of a second). It opens up the possibility of computer processors capable of operating at light speed.

Israel’s Agmatix (see previously) has partnered with agriculture solutions giant BASF to develop a digital solution for detecting and predicting the presence of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) - the most devastating pest to soybean crop yields in the U.S.

Israel’s Silynxcom (see previously) has added vital life signs monitoring to its ruggedized communication headsets. They provide crucial health insights and two-way real-time alerts in combat or high-risk environments, alerting command centers, even when the user is incapacitated.

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Israel’s Phinergy (see previously) were awarded a $1.5 million U.S. grant from US-Israel BIRD Foundation (see previously) to demonstrate a clean alternative to emergency generators based on aluminum-air technology.

Israel’s RT Aerostat Systems (see previously) is showcasing its innovative mobile advanced aerostat (air balloon) platforms to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other security agencies at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix. They are designed for extreme weather conditions.

The US has transferred a second THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System) anti-missile defense battery to Israel (see previously). It has also reportedly provided additional Patriot anti-missile defense systems.
